High School Residence Life Program

About

The Residential Life programs at Incarnate Word High School and St. Anthony Catholic
High school are connected to the University of the Incarnate Word through the Brainpower Connection. Through this affiliation we affirm the values of the institution: truth, faith,
service, education and innovation.

The program is open to high school students enrolled in grades 9-12. Living on-campus
enhances the learning process of each student by encouraging self-awareness, teaching
social skills, and offering opportunities for individual growth. Madeleine Hall is
currently located at Incarnate Word High School property and provides residency for
both Incarnate Word and St. Anthony high school enrolled students interested in living
in our hall.

VALUES

High school is a time of rapid growth physically and emotionally. We believe that
it is crucial to provide an atmosphere conducive to healthy growth and development.
If something is affecting a girls’ health we do our best to take appropriate measures
to care for her. We also feel it is important to help the young ladies learn more
about taking responsibility for establishing healthy patterns of eating, sleeping,
studying and in their personal relationships and live a balanced life-style.

Safety is a priority in any decision that we make concerning our young ladies. This
ranges from practicing fire drills to working with parents on permissions for their
daughters. We work with campus police and others to ensure that our building is secure
and try to educate the ladies on ways that they can keep themselves safe. It is incumbent
upon us to provide a safe and secure environment to help you and your daughter’s peace
of mind.

Each young lady is at IWHS to learn and we believe this should be given top priority.
We make resources available to assist the girls in their studies by providing tutors
to assist them with their academic journey and encourage them to reach their full
potential in their schoolwork. Education does extend beyond the classroom into residence
hall life as they learn about friendship, community and building positive relationships
with people through our community events.

These three priorities help guide our decision making about community events, educational
materials, staff selection and a myriad of other choices. If we feel that an activity
or event will in anyway endanger the health, safety or educational life of your child
we reserve the right to deny them permission to such an event. Our goal is to ensure
that our young ladies learn responsibility through modeling by staff and by helping
the girls consider the choices they are making while under our care.
